In for the lifting of heavy objects and car woes....today my car shifted into ETC engine fail safe mode and kicked out of cruise control and started running and sounding like sh!t....ETC engine fail safe mode, I don't know wtf that means. I turned it off and back on and it's running fine

Apparently the fuel pump is inside the gas tank. So my mechanic had to take the tank off, drain the gas, open it up, change the part, put the tank back together, and then replace the damn gas tank straps that broke lol.

Yep, that's why I took mine to a shop to get it done. They always put them on the tank, and I didn't wanna take my trucks bed off and put it back on.

Good thing too, since it wasn't the fuel pump.

Was it even worth paying the 1100 instead of just getting a new car lol?

Haha probably not. I bought the car about two years ago from an elderly couple who were the original owners and kept the car in immaculate shape. This has been the first time I have had to fix anything on it, unfortunately 4 things broke at once lol.

Lol, that's how it happens sometimes. Although, since it's in good shape it definitely was worth keeping (when o think crown vic, I think Houston Crown Vic. Which is most certainly not worth 1100 in repairs).

Mine has the occasional problem, but this was the only major one. (it's in good shape, especially for an '89)

Went home and ate like a horse. Triceps started cramping when I went to take off my shirt for the shower.

Training notes: Starting next week I intend to do the majority of the technique coaching before the workout (for my wifes friend that I've been training), rest periods will be shorter. Life will probably suck more.

Basic Outline for rest will be similar to this:

ME Movements: 3-5 minutes between sets (never less than 3, never more than 5)
RE Movements: 90 - 120 seconds between sets
DE Movements: 30-45 seconds between sets

Assistance: 2-3 minutes between exercises, 30-45 seconds between sets

Supersets: 30 seconds between exercises, 60-90 seconds between each superset

“Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. ... lead them by your own good example.” 1 Peter‬ 5:2-3‬

200lbs overhead is no joke! Especially with an axle, though I have never pressed one, I imagine it's a bitch. Did you clean the axle as well? I'm curious about the continental clean. Never tried one, and I've only ever cleaned more than 225 one time.

I didn't this time, no.

The last time I cleaned with the axle I got 170 or something and it was a bitch.

When I did the Kumite Classic powerlifting meet (equipped bench only bomb) I stopped out every chance I got. Watch the axle clean and press for a max, a few guys straight cleaned the opening weight. By round three, the one guy that kept doing it was getting oohs and aahs. He was tall as all hell and had some serious mitts on him, though.

That's why I have the issue straight cleaning it, these tiny little hands....
